About Shire of Kondinin

The Shire of Kondinin is a local government authority in the eastern Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, serving the townsites of Kondinin, Hyden and Karlgarin and surrounding rural areas. It is responsible for municipal services such as road construction and maintenance, waste and recycling services, environmental health, town planning, building approvals, and ranger services. The Shire also manages community facilities and amenities including sporting grounds, public halls, libraries, caravan parks/camping areas, community centres, and recreation facilities. Information about services, fees, and contacts is published on its official website at shire.kondinin.wa.gov.au.

A charge from the “Shire of Kondinin” may appear on your bank or card statement for a variety of council-related payments. Common reasons include payment of rates and charges (property rates, rubbish and ESL), animal registrations, facility or venue hire, swimming pool or building inspection fees, infringements (parking or local laws), or caravan park and camping fees. You may also see charges for community program fees, licences, planning and building application fees, cemetery and burial services, or event tickets handled directly by the Shire. Some payments may be one-off transactions, while others (such as instalment plans for rates) can recur on scheduled dates.

If you don’t recognise a Shire of Kondinin charge, first check whether you or someone in your household recently paid council rates, registered a pet, hired a hall or oval, booked accommodation at a Shire-managed facility, or paid a fine or licence fee. Look for matching amounts on your council notices, email receipts, or online banking history, and review any online payments made via links from shire.kondinin.wa.gov.au. For further clarification, contact the Shire office directly by phone or email (details on their website) with the transaction date and amount so staff can look it up. They can confirm what the payment relates to, correct billing errors, adjust instalment arrangements, or advise on refunds where eligible under council policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I charged by the Shire of Kondinin when I only paid my council rates?

Most Shire of Kondinin rates notices bundle several items together, such as general rates, rubbish charges, emergency services levy, and sometimes arrears or interest. When you pay the total amount shown on your notice (or an instalment) via card, the transaction will appear on your bank statement simply as “Shire of Kondinin” or similar. Compare the exact amount of the charge with the payment slip or online rates notice to confirm it matches what you authorised. If the amount differs from your notice or appears more than once, contact the Shire’s rates department for clarification.

Could this Shire of Kondinin charge be for animal registration or ranger services?

Yes. Payments for dog and cat registrations, renewals, impound or release fees, and some infringement penalties issued by the Shire’s rangers will appear as a Shire of Kondinin transaction. These payments may be done online, at the Shire office, or over the phone with a credit or debit card. Check any recent pet registration forms, reminder letters, or emails from the Shire; the amount and date usually align with the charge on your statement. If you believe a ranger-related fee has been charged in error, contact the Shire with your animal registration or infringement reference number.

Does the Shire of Kondinin use recurring or instalment billing for rates and other charges?

The Shire of Kondinin typically offers rates instalment options, meaning you may see multiple charges on or around the scheduled instalment due dates each year. These are not automatic monthly subscriptions, but planned instalment payments based on the election you made on your rates notice or via direct debit arrangements. Some other services, such as ongoing facility use or hire, may be billed periodically according to a formal agreement or lease. Review your latest council documentation to see whether you opted into instalments or a direct debit plan, and contact the Shire to adjust or cancel future instalments where permitted by policy.

How can I cancel or change a direct debit or card payment arrangement with the Shire of Kondinin?

If you have set up a direct debit or regular card payment for rates or other Shire accounts, you’ll need to advise the Shire of Kondinin in writing (or via their nominated form) before the next scheduled debit date to change or cancel it. In some cases, you may also need to notify your bank to stop future payments. Contact the Shire’s finance or rates team using the details on shire.kondinin.wa.gov.au and provide your assessment number or account reference so they can locate your arrangement. They can confirm the last processed payment, upcoming debit dates, and what changes can be made under the agreement and Council policy.

How do I request a refund or dispute a Shire of Kondinin charge?

To dispute a charge or request a refund, contact the Shire of Kondinin office with the transaction date, amount, the name on the card, and any relevant reference (such as rates assessment, animal registration, invoice or infringement number). The Shire will investigate whether the payment was correctly applied, duplicated, or made to the wrong account, and may ask you to supply a copy of your bank statement or receipt. Refunds are assessed in line with the Shire’s fees and charges and refund policies—some items (like paid infringements or past-due rates) may have limited refund options. It’s best to speak with the relevant department (rates, ranger services, community services, or finance) for specific outcomes.

What types of amounts commonly appear from the Shire of Kondinin on bank statements?

Common Shire of Kondinin charge amounts include annual or instalment portions of council rates (often several hundred dollars or more), smaller fees for animal registrations, building or planning applications, and moderate amounts for facility or hall hire. You may also see accommodation or camping fees from Shire-managed caravan parks or campgrounds, often matching nightly or weekly tariffs advertised on Shire or visitor information pages. Fines and infringements can appear as fixed amounts set by state legislation or local laws. If the amount doesn’t match any bill or fine you recall, ask the Shire to search their system using the exact dollar value and date of the transaction.

Why do I see a pending or temporary Shire of Kondinin charge that later changes or disappears?

When you pay online or by card at a Shire of Kondinin facility, your bank may first show a ‘pending’ or ‘authorisation’ charge before it is finalised. In some cases—especially if the payment is adjusted, declined, or not completed—the authorisation may remain visible for a short time and then drop off without being fully charged. Once the payment is processed, the final amount will display as a completed transaction under the Shire’s name. If you see both an authorisation and a final charge for the same payment after several business days, contact your bank and the Shire to confirm that you haven’t been double-charged.

How can I verify a Shire of Kondinin payment or get a copy of my receipt?

Receipts for Shire of Kondinin payments are usually provided at the time of transaction—either as printed receipts at the Shire office or emailed/available to download for online payments. If you’ve misplaced your receipt, contact the Shire and provide your name, address, the nature of the payment (for example, rates, pet registration, hall hire), and the date and amount from your bank statement. Staff can normally reissue a receipt or statement of account by email or post once they locate the transaction. Keeping your rates notices, infringement notices, and booking confirmations on file will also make it easier to match future charges on your statement.
